Somewhere Safer Where the Feeling Stays

We here at Possible Elitists High on Coffee and Cloves send our deepest sympathy to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Unfortunately, when tragedies like this befall the human community, opportunists will exploit the suffering of others for political or economic gain.

So here is my advice to all the assholes out there who want to blame the Hurricane for their specific hangups in life. Following the example of Mad Libs:

________________________ is/are the reason Hurricane Katrina happened.
(Insert predesignated enemy)

Just fill in the blank and say this sentence to a reporter, or into a public microphone or news broadcast, or type it on your blog, and you'll be sure to get your message disseminated. Personally, I think THE WEATHER is the reason Hurrican Katrina happened. Call me crazy ... THE OIL COMPANIES clock in at a not-so-distant second place in the blame game. I'll leave it to others to blame infidels, homosexuals, liberals, meteorologists, aborted fetuses, global warming, Hugo Chavez, al Qaeda, God, G*d, the Bush Administration, or your younger brother for the tragedy in New Orleans, Biloxi and other towns and cities in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.

PS For those readers whose first name happens to be Katrina, you might be glad to know that the thrash-metal band Anthrax went through a similar situation four years ago.

PPS In sad music related news, Fats Domino, who lives in New Orleans, is missing.

Also of note in your link Holly is that Allen Toussaint is temporarily safe in the Superdome. You may know hims for recording one of the classic soul albums of the 1970s: Life, Love and Faith (1972).
